Hi,<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm trying to use %ARGV to get command line parameters, however there doesn't seem to be anything in $ARGV[0] or $ARGV[1]. I am wondering if the problem is because the script is being called through another script using the system() call.<br><br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;How do I get at the command line parameters?<br><br>Cheers<br>Loon<br>

Worked it out, using <br><br>$ARGV[0] gives you the first command line parameter.<br><br>I was expecting that to be the script name, as it would in C where argv[0]==program name.<br><br>You live and learn.. :)<br>Loon
